Combined Information Data Network Exchange

Combined Information Data Network Exchange, or CIDNE, is a computer system used by the US Military.[1] It is used to collect tactical information from troops.[2][3]

In 2010 US Army private Bradley Manning was accused by the US government of giving out information from CIDNEI and CIDNEA (CIDNE Iraq and CIDNE Afghanistan) to persons not entitled to receive it, in alleged violation of various US laws (and by inculsion, portions of the Uniform Code of Military Justice).[4][5] Numerous media reports have alleged that these documents are the same as those contained in Wikileaks' publication of Afghan War documents and Iraq war documents.[2][3]
